Just been looking through the NGage website and the cool looking games, and I was wondering if the MMC cards containing the games will work on the 6600? Will Nokia lock them out so only the NGage will play them?

Humm that is interesting you would think it would work since the 6600 hardware should be superior and it will be good for slase of the games if they work so i dont see why they would lock it since the 6600 coast more then the n gage we will have to wait and see.

The games for N-gage are on cartridges, there are no cartridge slots in the 6600... so how would you get the game onto the 6600 to start with?

Surely some hacker will rip games off the cartridges somehow, and possibly make them installable on other s60 platforms. Whether or not there is more on a cartridge (ram?) than the game info remains to be seen. If there is not, then yes the 6600 would play these ripped games (in theory).

The N-Gage MMC's are a different physical size - so they won;t fit. The N-Gage also some API Code on teh CPU that isn;t avaiable on other Series 60 phones which will stop the big games palying. Java and OtA games may run on other Series 60, that's not clear yet.

Why do you believe so? What's your source of such information? As far as I know, they should be quite standard size MMCs.

The N-Gage should run (besides the N-Gage specific MMC-based games) anything a 7650 or a 3650 runs (be it Java or native Symbian apps). Except for those that need infrared or a camera, as neither one are things that the N-Gage has.

Specific features and API's are used in the developement of N-Gage games,features and API's that are not availble in the rest of the Series 60 devices.That is one of the reasons why the N-Gage games,games like Red Faction that will come on MMCs won't work on other Series 60 devices.Whether the MMCs used on the N-Gage are differnet in size,i don't know.

Sorry to dissapoint you but the biggest diference (and the most important one) between the n-gage and the rest of the phones is that it has a graphics chip and the rest don't. The games will probably run on an S60 phone but they'll crash the moment you start them up, and there's no way to solve it.

There are a few items that make one wonder about the phone's suitability for game playing, it has no dedicated graphics co-processor, the battery has to be removed to change MMC games and a moderately sized (176 x 208 pixels) screen. As a smartphone it has a couple of flaws too, there are rumours of poor Bluetooth support, and there is no camera - the EyeToy style possibilities of a camera on a gaming platform seem to have passed Nokia by too.
